A well-placed birdbath is one of the simplest, most effective ways to help wildlife — and it draws an amazing variety of visitors.

🪶 Robins, Wrens & Finches: Love shallow edges for safe bathing and quick drinks.
🐦 Tits, Sparrows & Blackbirds: Visit daily for hydration and feather care.
🕊️ Thrushes, Dunnocks & Starlings: Use baths to preen and keep their plumage waterproof.

By keeping a consistent supply of clean water, you’ll make your garden a reliable stop for birds year-round — especially crucial during heatwaves or frosty spells when natural sources dry or freeze.

Wiggly Tip: Clean water is just as important as seed — refresh daily in summer and keep ice-free in winter.

At Lower Blakemere Farm in Herefordshire, we know that small actions add up — feeding, nesting, and watering all help wildlife thrive.

This birdbath was chosen by our Wiggly team for its balance of beauty, practicality, and durability. It’s shallow enough for robins and tits but strong enough to last decades outdoors. Set it among flowers or near a hedge and it’ll soon be part of your farm-to-garden wildlife cycle — food, shelter, and water all in one ecosystem.

“Looks lovely, attracts loads of birds, and easy to clean — perfect addition to the garden!” – Verified Wiggly Customer

A birdbath isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline.

🌿 Hydration: Birds lose water quickly, especially in summer or dry weather.
💦 Feather Health: Bathing helps birds remove dust, parasites, and keeps feathers waterproof.
❄️ Winter Support: Fresh, unfrozen water is often more valuable than food on cold days.
🐣 Biodiversity: Water draws in pollinators and insects too — boosting your whole garden ecosystem.

Wiggly Tip: In winter, float a small rubber ball on the surface — the movement helps stop it freezing over.

✅ Siting: Place your birdbath in a quiet, semi-shaded spot — near shrubs for cover but clear of hiding places for cats.
✅ Depth: Keep water shallow — no more than 5 cm (2”) deep — so all species can use it safely.
✅ Stability: Position on flat ground or patio slabs to keep it steady.
✅ Cleaning: Empty and scrub with a stiff brush every few days using hot water only (no detergent).
✅ Refilling: Refill daily in warm weather and after rain.
✅ Frost Tip: Pour in warm (not boiling) water to thaw ice, or use a dedicated bird-safe de-icer if needed.

Wiggly Tip: Never add salt to prevent freezing — it’s toxic to birds.
